Will
acupuncture help me?
Yes, acupuncture's greatest strength is in the problems that
are neurological in origin. If you've got a migraine, then
you'll probably want to just go home and sleep it off. But, if
you feel it coming on, and you can get in for a treatment, the
acupuncture can prevent the headache from getting worse.
The best idea is to get a regular weekly, or biweekly
treatments so that the underlying condition that is giving rise
to your migraines can be treated. That way you'll avoid the
headaches completely.
And even for people with real migraines,
the cause can be different. It could be stress, it could be
associated with the menstrual cycle, it could be due to the way
in which you hold a telephone between your head and shoulder.
The cause really does need to be determined before an effective
treatment can be found.
